KVM for Small Business

IT Infrastructure Management for the Small Business

Maybe you have a server room, a rack of servers, a server closet with four, eight or more servers, more coming, and no space to spare. Maybe you’ve got branch offices or retail locations in other sites around town and no staff on-site to support them. Though the details may vary, you want to keep your servers and your network up and running. You want to keep your IT support staff working on gaining business advantages, not firefighting.

If this sounds familiar, you can benefit from Raritan’s server room and branch office solutions. Our next generation KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) switches, serial console servers and remote power products bring the same reliable technology used by global enterprises, at a price affordable by small businesses.

For small applications, Raritan’s 1-user CompuSwitch can support 2 servers and scale up to 64 servers with cascading. Raritan’s MasterConsole® KVM switch lets multiple users access and control multiple servers right from their desktops.

As data center needs grow, you can cascade MasterConsole switches to control up to 1,024 servers. Raritan’s Cat5 Reach KVM Extender lets you put up to 300 meters between your KVM switch and user console. For branch locations, Raritan’s Lara Eco KVM-over-IP gateway can provide secure, anytime anywhere access to a single server — or a KVM switch controlling multiple servers — via Web browser.

For branch or remote office applications, Raritan’s Dominion® KSX combines KVM-over-IP and serial-over IP in a single 1U appliance. It is particularly suited for sites with up to 8 Wintel or Linux servers and 8 serially-controlled devices like routers, firewalls and PBXs. Raritan’s Dominion KX KVM-over-IP appliance gives one, two or four users access to up to 16 servers at any time, from anywhere.

For the small office/home office (SOHO), Raritan’s SwitchMan® KVM switches allow control of up to 4 USB, PS/2, Sun or Macintosh PCs from one keyboard, monitor and mouse. The SwitchMan USB and Combo models combine KVM control with a USB hub, enabling sharing of microphones, speakers and USB devices like scanners, printers and digital cameras by up to four computers.
